WE ARE PLEASED TO OFFER FOR SALE A RARE American footed PUNCH BOWL in blue. These bowls are commonly found in crystal. The colored ones are extremely rare, and were actually made in the 1920s when Fostoria American was first being made. These bowls were produced outside of the United States and were imported into England. There has been some confusion about the provenance of these bowls. There were two molds used to produced this style bowl. The flared shape was made by Fostoria. Sidney Seligson listed the straight-sided bowl as an extremely rare piece of Cubist. In light of what is knonwn about the production of the Jeannette Glass Company and the Cubist pattern this is considered highly unlikely. There is now documentation for the American style glassware made overseas and sold in England. The production of the unusual pieces of American that have been coming from England can be attributed to the Liebochwitzer Glashütte of Czechoslovakia (known as Libochovice Sklarny after World War II). We have gathered information from all the available sources that we can find and can offer the following information:

The American pattern was very popular in England and our buyers have been bringing many rare and unusual \"American\" pieces back from England for the last 40 years. Although Fostoria American was popular in England, catalog evidence suggests that not all of the American style glassware sold in England was produced by Fostoria. The English Good Housekeeping ad shown above indicates that The National Glass Company LTd. was the major English importer and distributor of this pattern. They sold Fostoria American glassware and another similar American style glassware produced by the Liebochwitzer Glashütte of Czechoslovakia in England under the \"Georgian\" name. Through most of the 1920\'s English consumers mixed the glassware from these two sources and later American collectors did the same. Pages from a 1925-1928 Liebochwitzer Glashütte catalog confirm many of these unusual pieces were produced in Czechoslovakia. However, some of the pieces pictured in the catalog appear to be identical to those made by Fostoria. This has led some researchers to believe there may have been a license agreement that authorized this very similar production, but we are not able to confirm this. We have pictured the Good Housekeeping ad and two of the Liebochwitzer Glashütte catalog pages that feature some of the \"American\" style pieces that are collected by today\'s Fostoria American collectors. These pieces blend well with Fostoria American and are a very important part of the history of Fostoria American collecting.

We would like to thank Pamela Wessendorf from the web site glas-musterbuch.de for granting us permission to use the pages from the Liebochwitzer Glashütte 1925-28 catalog in this listing. This catalog, and the ad from The National Glass Company LTd. in the English Good Housekeeping magazine help to clarify how the Fostoria American pattern and the Liebochwitzer Glashütte production were combined to produce the Georgian pattern sold in England. These cube patterns produced by both companies have been collected by Fostoria American collectors for many years.

Condition: This outstanding piece is in Perfect Condition without chips, cracks, or major mold damage. It has beautiful clarity, however like many pieces of American this size, there are some small bubbles trapped in the glass. There is a small open bubblue on one of the cubes at the top of the bowl (which we have blown up and enhanced for you to see). This bowl was made this way. It is not damage but it is there. Since there are only a couple of these bowls have ever been found in blue it is an acceptable flaw in the making .

Description / About: Fostoria Amerian / Cube Footed Punch Bowl: 8 1/4\" H. - 10 1/2\"W.

American - Fostoria\'s No. 2056 crystal American pattern was introduced in 1915. This pattern was quickly accepted by the American public and soon became Fostoria\'s leading seller. The number of pieces in the pattern was expanded continuously through the years. During the 1920\'s color was introduced into the Fostoria line and some pieces of the American pattern were also made in color. The known colors of early American include amber, aqua, dark blue, canary, ebony, green, jadeite, lavender and yellow. Some pieces were also produced with ruby flashing. Later production included American in white milk glass, smoke, pink and red. When Fostoria closed in the 1980\'s, American molds went to the Indiana Glass Company. Production of some American pieces continued from both original and modified molds for the Fostoria outlet stores.
